Because eating a popsicle is too mainstream

I’m just going to apologize in advance for the possibility of you, the reader, gagging as you read this blog post. Because I’m pretty much gagging as I write it.

Giovanna Plowman has gone from a nobody to a somebody all because of one repulsive YouTube video. I am not even going to link to this video because of how disturbing it is. In a nutshell, the girl sucked on her “used tampon,” saying that she made the video because someone dared her to. I use quotes because no one really knows if the tampon was actually used, or if it was dipped in some edible red liquid. Needless to say, the whole thing is just messed up.

This girl has gained 156.1k followers on Twitter after her video went viral. With gaining so much publicity, her recent tweets have gone something like this- “Thinking of writing a book on how to get famous.”, “Too many ugly people are celebrities, I’m happy I’m the only exception tbh.” and “Why are periods just once a month? I get hungry ” She’s also been tweeting celebrities and saying rude things about them. For example, she tweeted Lana Del Rey saying “@LanaDelRey looks like a 35 year old soccer mom suffering from nicotine withdrawals and going through a divorce. >_>”

Just the very fact that this girl prides herself in sucking on a used tampon makes me question the well being of our society. I honestly don’t understand people and what goes through some of their minds.

Seems like people really will do pretty much anything to get their “15 minutes of fame.” It’s pretty sad to see someone get so much publicity for something that is so wrong in every single way.

Kinda makes me want to move to a deserted island or something to be quite honest…I just can’t deal with the world sometimes.

Good luck Giovanna finding employment as your crude video will be what prospective employers and college admissions officers find when they search your name online. Also, how old is Giovanna? If she’s under the age of 18, why do her parents permit such self-destructive behavior? Finally, why would the Huffington Post find any value in showcasing this video – just because something is trending doesn’t make it newsworthy. Thank you for exercising good judgement and not linking to her video!
